I love reading. I always have. From when I was little and went to the library with my siblings and my mom, I have devoured books. But lately, I’ve been more distracted by social media, by the Internet and by television. I aim to change that with a reading challenge for 2014: eight books each month. This is slight compared to others who read 10 or so a month, but I know myself and I know I will watch some television — there’s “Downton Abbey,” “Chopped,” “Sherlock,” and college basketball at the very least.
I’m posting the list here to keep me honest and to remind myself that I need to turn off the TV and read. Any suggestions are welcome. I love fiction, mystery, nonfiction — everything. This is a varied list with books for school and work and books just for fun.
I’m off to the library.
Here’s my January list:
- “Inferno” by Dan Brown. This might be cheating, but I’ve finished it. In January.
- “Warmth of Other Suns” by Isabel Wilkerson
- “Farewell, Dorothy Parker” by Ellen Meister
- “Z” by Therese Fowler
- “Murder as a Fine Art” by David Morrell
- “The Lean Startup” by Eric Ries
- “A Question of Honor” by Charles Todd
- “Platform “ by Michael Hyatt
